1. Introduction Litens Automotive GmbH (hereinafter named LAG) has compiled this manual to establish uniform packing standards for its suppliers in order to assure consistently reliable and effective supply of parts to our customers. Important issues such as planning, procurement and management of packaging material as well as parts labeling and delivery or pick-up will be explained on the following pages. This manual applies to all LAG suppliers. The logistics guidelines are thus also part of the framework or supply agreement concluded with the supplier. The supplier accepts the stipulations of the guidelines made available to him. Any objections must be communicated in writing to LAG prior to signing contract. Continuous improvement LAG is consistently seeking to improve logistics. The existing packaging and handling guidelines are under constant review; all suppliers are urged to cooperate in such improvement. Any suggestions to improve the logistics chain may be submitted at all times to LAG material management. The prime objective of logistics planning is to use customized reusable packaging meeting all cost-related and environmental requirements. The environmental objectives have their focus on conservation of raw materials and on avoiding waste, particularly hazardous waste.


FB M 081 4

2. Packaging 2.1 Standard Packaging Standard packaging: Prior to any series shipments to LAG, a suited form of packaging will be defined for each article. Such definition will be based upon the LAG logistics guidelines, part-specific experience as well as pre-series parts or prototypes. The results of this preparatory work and any test packaging followed by transport analyses will be stated in the Verpackungsvereinbarung (FB M 079 or PASDS), which states the defined type of packaging and filling amount per part. This packaging agreement will be signed by both contractual parties and is considered integral element of the contract. “If we receive no confirmation / feedback within 14 days, this packing instruction is confirmed." If the defined standard packaging is not available, there will be an agreed alternative packaging, which in such exceptional case must be communicated to LAG's material management function prior to its use. The supplier is obligated to assure rapid supply of the standard packaging and thus to restrict the use of alternative packaging to the shortest possible period of time. The supplier shall be responsible for selecting the appropriate packaging material (type of container, dunnage, etc.). The supplier is requested to quote packaging and dunnage in compliance with the Litens Guidelines. The supplier's packaging proposals must take the following items into account: • All parts must be reliably and safely packed to assure that there will be no impairments or damages during transport or storage, also over an extended period of time. • As a general rule, reusable (returnable) packaging will be used for transports within Europe. Disposable containers will be used for transports outside Europe. • The containers must be stackable – at least 3-fold also for disposable containers. • To assure on-the-job safety, KLT/SLCs or small cartons may not weigh more than 12 kgs. Exceptions must be approved in writing and must be accepted by LAG. • The supplied items / packaging may not feature any external labeling or identification (e.g. from upstream supplier or previous shipments). • Any violation of the jointly agreed packaging agreement will be considered a quality defect and will be considered in the supplier assessment.

3. Reusable packaging 3.1 Kleinladungsträger / small load carriers – KLT /SLC 3.1.1 Transport unit VDA KLT/SLC All standard VDA KLT/SLC types are admissible for use following prior agreement. In order to assure consistent pallet stacking and maximum transport safety, all layers must be completely filled with KLT/SLC. If pallet-wide loading of the pallet is impossible, either use a smaller pallet or fill layer with empty packages. In order to secure transport, always place a pallet lid over packaging unit. All transport means (KLT/SLC, pallets and covers) must always be stated in the delivery slip. The loading units must be placed in staggered arrangement. Each KLT/SLC must feature a goods label according to VDA 4902. This label must be placed at a clearly visible position. The label may be applied only in the label envelope and/or as adhesive label. Single labels as well as master barcodes are explained under item 9. Maximum KLT/SLC stacking height (Lagenhöhe) per euro pallet:

All KLT/SLC containers must be safely positioned on the transport pallets and must be fastened for transport. The containers will be fastened with plastic straps which have been selected for their ecological characteristics. The plastic straps must be made of PE or PP material and may not feature any metal elements (e.g. clamps). The smallest purchase quantity is one KLT/SLC. Incomplete pallet layers must always be filled with empty KLT/SLC containers. Differing KLT/SLC container types may not be stacked on one and the same pallet. 3.1.2 Safe transport (reusable) Examples for correct and incorrect stacking of KLT/SLCs. Correct Incorrect

Maximum total weight of reusable packing unit is 800 kgs. Important: Do not apply any stickers or lettering to reusable packaging! 3.2 Planning and procurement of reusable packaging Wherever possible, deliveries in Europe should always be made with suitable reusable packaging (wire mesh crates, KLT/SLC, thermo-formed foils, etc.). The supplier is responsible for planning and procurement of the reusable packaging in agreement with LAG's logistics function. The supplier will always first make a trial shipment with the planned packaging. The packaging agreement and procurement of the reusable packaging will be made only after such trial shipment has been made. The reusable packaging must be made available and must be used at the time series production begins. Delivery with disposable packaging is acceptable in the project start-up phase (pres-series). The supplier will procure the required packaging quantities for the packaging cycle on the basis of the anticipated annual volumes per project. Packaging repair requirements and losses will be taken into account in the procurement process. 3.3 Container management 3.3.1 Empties account, opening new empties accounts , management of reusable packaging All transit quantities of reusable packaging required for shipments from supplier to LAG will be registered and administered in empties accounts by LAG container management. An empties account for supplier will be opened and managed per packaging type used. A supplier's empties accounts have a direct 1:1 ratio between the respective supplier and LAG. LAG will open the empties accounts immediately after series packaging has been released. The empties accounts will register all account movement (incoming, outgoing). The supplier will also maintain empties accounts for management of reusable packaging to be able to detect losses (chapter 2.2.4) in transit in due time and to react to these. The empties accounts must be able to register account movements. In compliance with LAG EDI – guidelines, the supplier will assure that all packaging quantities are registered at the same time the electronic delivery slip notification (remote data transmission) is sent.

3.3.2 Posting empties All incoming and outgoing reusable packaging is registered in the LAG empties accounts. The reusable packagings (full packagings) delivered to LAG shall be considered incoming; the reusable packagings (empty packagings) leaving Litens shall be considered outgoing. The incoming posting shall be based upon the delivery slip or delivery slip notification; the outgoing posting will be made on the basis of the empties slip. 3.3.3 Account reconciliation - inventory The supplier will receive monthly empties account statements from container management for review and confirmation of completeness. An annual closing inventory will be made each December. For this purpose, the supplier will receive the inventory data from LAG container management and will then make a physical closing day inventory on a day without any container movement. The inventory findings will be transmitted to LAG container management on the specified inventory formsheet. Inventory deviations must be clarified at short notice and may be clarified by correction postings to the LAG empties account, where applicable. The delivery slips are compared for this purpose. Only those delivery slips will be taken into account which state information on empties according to the LAG Logistics Guideline. Losses will be replaced by the contractual party responsible for the loss. 3.3.4 Losses Losses shall be defined as those quantity deficits in reusable packagings, which cannot be accounted for in the monthly/annual inventories. Losses will be replaced by the contractual party responsible for the loss. The replacement value is stated in the packaging contracts and documentation. 3.3.5 Container repair, handling The supplier will assure usability of the reusable packaging at his facility and, where required, will have these repaired by qualified specialized companies. Reusable packaging not in serviceable condition – as relates to on-the-job safety – may not be used for shipments to LAG or a company contracted by LAG. Faulty deliveries to LAG in defective containers will immediately be communicated to the supplier by e-mail incl. enclosed photos and will be repacked at the supplier's expense. The defective containers will be held available for supplier pick-up or will be repaired at the supplier's expense. LAG will take care of disposal of non-usable reusable packagings. The costs will be charged to the party responsible for the loss. Packaging material is considered fit for use if it features no damages apart from external wear-and-tear and if further use will preclude any impairment of the parts to be delivered. Containers will be made available and/or shipped broom-clean, irrespective of whether they are LAG property, supplier property or third-party property. If the cleanliness of the KLT/SLCs fails to meet the quality requirements of transported material, the supplier will be required to perform additional cleaning work at his expense. More information is available in the LAG contract

4. Disposable packaging 4.1 Selecting disposable packaging The general use of disposable packaging is admissible only in overseas deliveries and in reasonable exceptions in Europe. All disposable packagings must be identified in compliance with standard DIN 6120 or by way of international recycling symbols. One or multiple disposable cartons may be placed on a pallet. Maximum total weight of reusable packing units is 800 kgs. The containers must be stackable on pallets in three layers. If this is not warranted, stacking stabilizers must be integrated at the corners of the packaging unit. On-the-job safety: The supplier shall preferably use (HSC) cartons with removable lid, as these reduce the risks of personal injuries when unpacking with knives. For dunnage, do not use compound materials (e.g. foam material bonded to corrugated cardboard) which are difficult to separate and recycle and are therefore not suited for these purposes. HSC carton The use of regular cartons (RSC) is not prohibited, but it is also not desirable. A joint cover to top out the pallet both for HSC or RSC cartons on a pallet is the preferred method 4.2 Loading units The standards for reusable packagings analogously also apply to disposable packagings.

Maximum height including pallet is 1,000 mm.

RSC


FB M 081 11

4.3 Cardboard delivery units The weight of an individual loading unit (small cardboard boxes) may not exceed 12 kgs (depends upon contents). Incomplete box layers and non-stackable loading units and carton pyramids are inadmissible. Pallets must be stackable in three layers.

FB M 081 12

4.4 Fastening cartons Loading units consisting of pallets and cartons must be secured in two directions with plastic straps. Under no circumstances may the plastic straps cut into the cartons. Where required for transport safety, attach vertical and horizontal corner braces for reinforcement. (The requirement for top cover lids is defined in the scope of packaging planning in compliance with the LAG Packaging Guidelines.) Stretch foils and steel straps are inadmissible! (Exception: steel straps may be used to transport tools, steel coils, etc.)


FB M 081 13

5. Import/export cartons In order to achieve an effective loading rate of >90% of seafreight containers, LAG developed the following import/export cartons. With this type of loading unit (pallet + carton), up to four packing units may be stacked. This import/export carton is suited for product-specific transports with or without inlays as well as bulk material and modular parts. The import/export carton always features four squared lengths of conifer wood in the corners. (4.5 x 4.5 x 61 cm), to assure reliable stackability of up to four pallets. Maximum load capacity per import/export carton is 800 kgs. 5.1 Specification length width height Import/export carton groß = exterior diameter: 1130 x 940 x 750 mm ( e.g. type „F“ ) large interior diameter 1050 x 900 x 600 mm Import/export carton mitt el = exterior diameter: 1130 x 940 x 500 mm ( e.g. type „FK“ ) medium interior diameter: 1050 x 900 x 300 mm Import/export carton klein = exterior diameter: 1130 x 940 x 310 mm ( e.g. type „FKK“ ) small interior diameter: 1050 x 900 x 150 mm 5.1.1 Categories There are the following types of import/export cartons: Acc. to item 5.1 Type (large)
